Highland Hilltop Retreat

Location was great, with abundant wildlife out and about. Rooms were spacious, with a great kitchen. Pool table table, darts, many games, and wildlife viewing kept our group of 6 entertained.

This cabin was the perfect set up for our 4 generation gathering. The kitchen was stocked perfectly for cooking and things were easy to find. There was plenty space for everyone to gather together. The deck was a favorite place: beautiful sunrises, deer and turkey wandering each day.

We had a wonderful stay. The starter supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods and laundry detergent) were not stocked as listed, but walmart is close by. Really the lack of tp was the only immediate issue. House and location were wonderful and the daily wildlife visits were our favorite.

Overall the house was really nice. Great location for our trip to South Dakota! Plenty of wildlife on the residence.

What a great place for a family vacation! Beautiful and comfortable furnishing, gorgeous views from the wraparound porch and close to so many awesome adventures. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful house and deck

Beautiful home beautiful view felt absolutely at home! Beautiful and peaceful

The location of this home was perfect for exploring nearby Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Bear Den, Storybook Island and so much more! Each day we saw deer and wild turkeys in the yard. One evening on the deck we experienced a beautiful full and bright double rainbow. The home was very clean and perfect for our 3 generation vacation.

Our family of four, along with my parents, had an absolutely perfect stay at Highland Hilltop Retreat! From the moment we arrived, we could feel this wasn’t just another vacation rental – it was thoughtfully prepared and truly felt like home. The house had all the necessities and more, but what really stood out was the fully stocked kitchen. It had every gadget, dish, and extra you could imagine – far beyond what you normally find in vacation homes. It made cooking meals together easy and enjoyable.The layout of the home gave everyone plenty of space to relax and unwind, and we never felt crowded. One of our favorite features was the wrap-around deck, where we enjoyed our morning coffee and evening chats while watching deer, wild turkeys, and other wildlife wander through the property daily. It was like our own private nature show.We couldn’t have asked for a better home base for exploring the Black Hills. We’ll be recommending Highland Hilltop Retreat to anyone heading to South Dakota—and we hope to return ourselves one day!

outstanding property with everything a family needs for an enjoyable vacation. Definitely a 5 star property

This home had everything we needed for our stay. We were in town for our nephew’s graduation and the location was perfect. The game room was fun for the teenagers. The deck was my favorite spot for my morning coffee.

We enjoyed this lovely home in a residential neighborhood. We spent a great deal of time on the deck enjoying the beautiful weather, the fall colors, and the plethora of wildlife in the area. This home is also within driving distance of many interesting venues in the Black Hills area.You can rest assured that you will have a great vacation if you book this home.

Beautiful property and had all the necessities and then some. Great location!

Loved the peaceful, hillside location - peaceful and beautiful with wonderful wildlife visitors (sheep, deer, and turkeys). House is accommodating with great amenities. Great location allows easy access to all main South Dakota attractions. No hesitation at all recommending this property to anyone wanting to enjoy the beauty of the Black Hills and all that South Dakota has to offer.

The house was a wonderful location, within 15 minutes to an hour from everything that we wanted to do (Bear Country, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer Park, Deadwood, Jewel Cave). It was also pretty close to downtown Rapid City. The house had all the amenities we needed, with tons of outdoor seating for coffee in the morning and dinner in the evening… there is even the cutest waterfall. During our stay, we saw TONS of turkey, bunnies, and deer outside the house.

Very cozy and clean my family and I really enjoyed staying here highly recommend ?

The home was beautiful and fit our family's needs perfectly. We saw deer and long horned sheep right out of the window! Beds were comfortable and everything was in working order. Regarding the description on the website and info provided, the website stated three queen beds, but the master had a king bed, which was great! I asked about the coffee machine specifically, and was sent a picture of a drip machine. There was a drip and a drip/Kuerig. I wish I had known that before bringing a Kuerig with us on a 13 hour drive. Also, there were no dish rags or towels in the kitchen. Overall, though, the place was beautiful and my sons really enjoyed the pool table. We'd definitely go back!

property was awsome location was awsome very relaxing
